Developing Structural First Principles for Alkylated Triphenylphosphonium-Based Ionic Liquids.

ABSTRACT: While ionic liquids have proved to be versatile materials for a wide spectrum of applications, e.g., energy, materials, and medicine, several challenges remain concerning the rational design of novel materials. In light of this, a series of four triphenylphosphonium-based ionic liquids have been synthesized for the first time. These compounds exhibit high thermal stability with decomposition temperatures up to 450 °C. Their solid-state structures are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the intermolecular interactions rigorously analyzed via Hirshfeld surface analysis. It was found that the unique geometries of the anions used in the study form distinct interactions with the cations. The interactions in the crystalline state are correlated with the thermal properties of th
